In India, a white number plate on a car signifies that it is registered for private, non-commercial use only. Such vehicles are strictly meant for personal use and cannot legally be used for commercial activities like transporting goods or passengers for hire. Renting out a car with a white number plate for commercial purposes, including self-drive rentals, is generally illegal. Commercial vehicles must have a yellow number plate indicating proper commercial registration. Using a privately registered vehicle (white plate) for commercial activities can result in fines, vehicle impoundment, and suspension of the vehicle's registration under the Motor Vehicles Act.

Unless it's your business to give cars on rent or you're a contractor for travel fleets, you're not authorised to rent your personal vehicle for any commercial purpose. What you must do, is to get your vehicle re-registered as commercial vehicle. Then get a yellow number plate fitment done. Get new insurance policy, stating that you are willing to use the vehicle as commercial and you'll be renting it to third party for hire and drive on contact basis. get new PUC done. then go for national permit and clearance certificate from nation wide RTOs, sarthi website has the single window facility. get your car checked for fitness. finally get your renewed fastag with new yellow registered number and particulars. You're now good to rent your cars to third party, based upon contract duly signed by the other party. Feel free to connect for more details. Adv Soham Desai.
